Overview

About 4 Darell Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

4 Darell Road is a seven-bedroom detached house in Caversham, Reading, Reading (RG4 7AY). It has a recorded floor area of 296 m² (around 3186 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in November 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe.

It hasn't traded since April 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. At 296 m² the property is well over the postcode median (202 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 7 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £1,515,000 sits 85.9% above the 2010 sale of £815,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£256/sq ft) was about 22.6% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a basement excavation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 4 Darell Road is modelled from its 296 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RG4 7AY. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 4 Darell Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 4 Darell Road was lodged in June 2014 at band D and expired in June 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 4 applications are matched to 4 Darell Road. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 24 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG4 7AY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 Darell Road is in council tax band G. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
